I have a 2 and a 4 element quad beam antenna up and testing. I have this fast in and out skip stations on all of my antennas. Jay in the Mojave It may be that you are getting short propagation events from the ionized tails of meteors reflecting distant signals . There have been long-haul comm systems built to utilize this effect, they sound for a path and send a data burst when there is an open path. phil Hello Phil: No I don't think its meteors, but some kind of skip happening maybe the attmosphere wants to work but for a short while. This happens a few times an hour, then the skip stations come in solid for say 20 mins or so. I believe I was using some sort of meteor a few years back, as I was talking to guy about 150 miles away, the signal level came up then quickly died, but we where able to exchange locations and call signs on 11 meters.
